Did you feel that the questioner was, at times, asking questions in a way to highlight his inconsistencies? Do you feel that was appropriate?

I haven't read his, but I noticed them doing the same thing to Darren Wilson.

I'm an attorney and I have some experience with this. Of course they are going to do that, because they are well aware that Johnson was lying his arse off.

What if the prosecutor knew without a doubt he was innocent based on all evidence? What if he knew he would be caught later with his pants down with this witness?

What if he knew he at least had to bring it to grand jury or it would be worse?

Not in a Grand Jury situation. It was like presenting evidence but only a defense attorney was present.

There was no scrutiny given to the testimony of statements favorable to Darren Wilson, including his own. In a real trial a prosecutor would question his testimony in many places. There would also be dash cam video to review and I haven't seen a report on what he said to the officer on the first day (might be in there, but I haven't found it). Also, there is no way a normal person would be given a clean car to drive back to the station in all by himself. Or would be allowed to enter the SUV and check things / remove keys by himself.

Why did it take 4 hours to walk to store and back? Did Dorian's old lady ever get her breakfast?

Then he should decline to prosecute. Not present evidence in the worst light possible. Especially with his personal history, someone else should have been in charge.

It's pretty obvious McCulloch didn't want this to go to trial.

If he declined to prosecute knowing Wilson was completely innocent then would this be all on his shoulders?

What about now isn't it on many people's shoulders? Even a jury of his peers?
